Re: Año Nuevo, vida nueva - the Argentine NT News, Stats & Players thread 2010-2011 [R]

I think the break has done him good. Whatever knock he picked up or muscle injury seems to be over.

Piatti is having an excellent season and Cavegol always has the class.

 

Re: Año Nuevo, vida nueva - the Argentine NT News, Stats & Players thread 2010-2011 [R]

Nice video and looks like he had a good showing. He is a bit of a risk taker and that is good; however it could hurt the team at times. But the kid has some nasty moves! Hope he continues to grow and improve which I think he will.

 

Re: Año Nuevo, vida nueva - the Argentine NT News, Stats & Players thread 2010-2011 [R]

The British magazine FourFourTwo released a list of their top 100 players of 2010. Argentines on the list (the position they finished is next to the name):

1) Messi
23) Higuain
24) Milito
29) Tevez
41) Zanetti
45) Aguero
48) Cambiasso
65) Mascherano
68) Pastore
84) Di Maria
90) Lucho Gonzalez

Football Squads, a British website also made a similar list:

1) Messi
13) Milito
19) Tevez
25) Cambiasso
28) Zanetti
34) Higuain
45) Di Maria
50) Aguero
58) Pastore
60) Lisandro
66) Samuel
67) Lucho Gonzalez
85) Dario Conca
94) Guiñazu

I'm surprised the second list had Conca and Guiñazu but not D'Alessandro.

 

Re: Año Nuevo, vida nueva - the Argentine NT News, Stats & Players thread 2010-2011 [R]

To be fair, Conca was a better performer overall, though you could say that D'Alessandro, though frustratingly inconsistent, showed up when mattered (CL).

Milito is pretty low in the first ranking. Below Higuain?

 

Re: Año Nuevo, vida nueva - the Argentine NT News, Stats & Players thread 2010-2011 [R]

He was probably more important to his team overall but as you say D'Alessandro was their key player in the Libertadores. He should definitely be there.

Yeah that's weird. I think scoring 4 in the WC and his form this season up to his injury probably put Higuain ahead. Milito has been pretty bad so far this season.

 

Re: Año Nuevo, vida nueva - the Argentine NT News, Stats & Players thread 2010-2011 [R]

Well, Milito scored 30 goals last season but HIguain also had 29 and 4 goals at world cup is big plus, not to mentioned he also scored the winner against Germany in friendly. International games effected the rank I guess .... Milito didnt get much caps but when he did, he hardly could score either.

To be honest, all the Argentine is really low on that list considering the number of goals they scored... Tevez scored 20+ in EPL last season and scored 2 at world cups and currently no.2 top scorer in EPL... he should have ranked higher too.

anyway, I randomly saw this on other board... appearenly, its an official Lego minifig that will be out soon, it doesnt have name... but it certainly looks like someone...

 

Re: Año Nuevo, vida nueva - the Argentine NT News, Stats & Players thread 2010-2011 [R]

For copa america, the best midfield and attacking lineup:

Masch...Cambiasso...Banega
Tevez.................Messi
.............Milito

-If Milito can regain his club form of last season, there wont be a team that could outplay this lineup in the tournament.

 

Re: Año Nuevo, vida nueva - the Argentine NT News, Stats & Players thread 2010-2011 [R]

Good news for Garay, Pepe is injured again.

 

Re: Año Nuevo, vida nueva - the Argentine NT News, Stats & Players thread 2010-2011 [R]

Milito? I think his swansong was CL final. Hell Crespo is doing better than Milito now. I would like to see Licha up front.

 

Re: Año Nuevo, vida nueva - the Argentine NT News, Stats & Players thread 2010-2011 [R]

Milito shouldn't be anywhere near this team. He could integrate this team as a sub or a sparring partner.

 

Re: Año Nuevo, vida nueva - the Argentine NT News, Stats & Players thread 2010-2011 [R]

I agree Crespo is a much better target player up top. And I'd almost give in to Licha for a call up.

 

Re: Año Nuevo, vida nueva - the Argentine NT News, Stats & Players thread 2010-2011 [R]

The team I wish to see:

----------------Romero-------------

Zabaleta--Musacchio--Samuel?--Ansaldi

---------Masche----Banega---------

------------Pastore--------------------

Messi--------Licha/Kun-----Di Maria-----


But this is probably what we'll see:

----------------Romero------------------

Zanetti---Demichelis---Milito------Heinze

---------Masche------Cambi/Bolatti/Gago---
----------------Banega---------------

Messi-----------Tevez----------Di Maria--

 

Re: Año Nuevo, vida nueva - the Argentine NT News, Stats & Players thread 2010-2011 [R]

How has Ansaldi been doing this season in Russia? I would play Zabaleta at LB and Zanetti at RB or vice versa.

 

Re: Año Nuevo, vida nueva - the Argentine NT News, Stats & Players thread 2010-2011 [R]

Demichelis scores for Malaga giving them a 1-0 lead with 9 minutes remaining. In the 90th minute he commits a foul, loses his marker on the FK, and Bilbao tie it.

 

Re: Año Nuevo, vida nueva - the Argentine NT News, Stats & Players thread 2010-2011 [R]

Perotti had a good game against Sociedad. Seems to have an excellent delivery from dead ball situations.

Messi with a superb assist so far.

 

Re: Año Nuevo, vida nueva - the Argentine NT News, Stats & Players thread 2010-2011 [R]

messi had 1 assist so far

mascherano played very well, he defended better than puyol who seems starting to lose his pace

 

Re: Año Nuevo, vida nueva - the Argentine NT News, Stats & Players thread 2010-2011 [R]

golazo!

Messi scores on a FK!

 

Re: Año Nuevo, vida nueva - the Argentine NT News, Stats & Players thread 2010-2011 [R]

another assist from messi again

 

Re: Año Nuevo, vida nueva - the Argentine NT News, Stats & Players thread 2010-2011 [R]

that was an outstanding goal. what a curve in the free kick!

He also gets a second assist, though an unintentional one

 

Re: Año Nuevo, vida nueva - the Argentine NT News, Stats & Players thread 2010-2011 [R]

Well, he had one that was out of this world that was JUST slightly offside, so I guess it makes it up. To be honest it looked like he was out of it, he may of been playing with an injury. I think he needs to wear 9.5 on his jersey because he is a mix of 9 and a 10!

His FK.

Re: Año Nuevo, vida nueva - the Argentine NT News, Stats & Players thread 2010-2011 [R]

Messi is more Pele than Maradona.

 

Re: Año Nuevo, vida nueva - the Argentine NT News, Stats & Players thread 2010-2011 [R]

So Messi's predictions are the kiss of death? .

 

Re: Año Nuevo, vida nueva - the Argentine NT News, Stats & Players thread 2010-2011 [R]

There was nothing unintentional about that. He ran the other direction after the touch.

 

Re: Año Nuevo, vida nueva - the Argentine NT News, Stats & Players thread 2010-2011 [R]

Actually i believe we may end up seeing something closer to the team you want to see than the one you expect(For one i believe Tevez will be the "9").

So we got our free kick taker, huh?

 

Re: Año Nuevo, vida nueva - the Argentine NT News, Stats & Players thread 2010-2011 [R]

LOL that would be interesting to see in the future.
